To get up on the stage with little musical talent and to give countless promotional interviews I doubt that Linda was that shy. While I don’t agree that she, or anyone for that matter, should be villified Linda wasn’t beyond criticism either. Since her death, she and her marriage have been idealised beyond belief. Many women in music, then and now, worked hard at their careers in the predominantly male world of rock music, and often awarded much less recognition compared to their male peers. Yet Linda was catapulted right up there for being married to a Beatle and recruited to his band. If Paul had married a fellow musician I could understand if he wanted to take a different direction, but I found Linda audacious in thinking that it just wouldn’t matter to the legions of Beatles’ fans at the time. As for their personal relationship, if they were so enamoured of each other they should have waltzed off together into the sunset after meeting at the Bag O’Nails. Their subsequent sneaky hookups would have saved a lot of grief all round.

Linda won a Grammy award in 1974 with Paul and Denny Laine for Band on the run as best vocal group. She had the last laugh on the naysayers!

Linda was a lovely housewife she and Paul who raised their four kids although I met only son James in person here in Seattle up in Fremont at the High Dive Bar for his big gig it was back in May 19th at 8pm as I do recall he was only one himself since he didn’t have any fellow musicians at the time while James was in town. It was fun I enjoy it. I m an Beatles fan today too.

People who didn’t know Linda mistook her shyness as being aloof. I wish I’d known her personally. We were born the same year. How proud she would of the way her brew turned out. My my, Mary is a fine photographer. Paul kept the family close. I love the McCartneys!

She has become a rather saintly figure since her death, in contrast to all the negative reactions she attracted when she replaced the popular Jane Asher and when she was playing and singing with Wings.

Wonderful wonderful woman. Such a shame they didn’t catch the cancer in time. She and Paul would’ve been together forever.
